Here's the story of my growth over the past year． If anyone is inspired （激励） by this，that's wonderful．
I'd been stuck as this under-confident，fat and just frightened girl for years and years and years． Since I was a little girl，I'd been stuck like this，and I had lived a life where I'd be afraid of everything． But then it all started changing． Something clicked， and in over a period of 6 months I finally managed to stick to one of my diets，bringing me from overweight straight down to underweight． This proved （证明） that I could change myself．
One single time，I heard about a public speaking thing going on at my university，and for the first time，I managed to keep up the courage to go there． For the first time I was able to share my story，and able to do it in front of so many people possibly judging （评判） me，and suddenly all the fears about speaking publicly started vanishing．I never felt more confident．
This taught me I could get rid （去除） of my fears． It was from that point on that my road to change went from a rocky mess to a full-on empty highway．
Using the fact that I could change，and that I could get rid of my fears，I started working on them one by one． My fear of talking to strangers ，my fear of asking simple questions，my fear of hanging out with people，my fear of being myself…All of them were gone． And I still continue to progress to this day．I've never stopped．

Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays，but how often do we really use them for their original purpose-to make a call？Telephone culture is disappearing.What brought us to this moment，and what are its effects？
"No one picks up the phone anymore，" wrote Alex C.Madrigal on The Atlantic. "The reflex （习惯性动作） of answering-20th-century telephonic culture-is gone."
The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options：Texting with photos，videos，emojis，reaction gifs，links and even voice messages can be a more attractive option.
Texting is light and fun，not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call.It can also be done with multiple people at the same time.Social media，email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone calls.
In recent years，another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely：robocalls.Robocalls are automate （自动化的） messages from organizations verifying （核实） your phone number or telemarketers trying to sell something.Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020，equaling an annual rate of 45.6 billion，slightly below 2018 numbers，according to YouMail，a robocall protection service and blocking app.
As telephone culture disappears，what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit？Early landline phones unified family members，whereas mobile phones isolate（隔离） them.
"The shared family phone served as an anchor（精神支柱） for home，" said Luke Fernandez，a Weber State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored，Lonely，Angry，Stupid：Feelings About Technology，From the Telegraph to Twitter. "With smart phones，we have gained mobility and privacy.But the value of the home has been diminished，as has its ability to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps connect families more closely，" Fernandez said.
Of course，as technology progresses，lives always change for better or for worse.With the loss of telephone culture，families will need to find other ways to unite.
8. What has caused the traditional telephone to lose its attraction according to the text？ ______
A. People's wide range of communication choices.
B. People's addiction to social media.
C. People's growing need for privacy.
D. People's preference for robocalls.
9. What can we infer from Fernandez's remark？ ______
A. Smart phones make families closer.
B. Smart phones help people monitor family behavior.
C. The use of mobile phone has affected family bonds.
D. The value of home depends on how phones are used.
10. What's the author's attitude to the effects of the disappearing telephone culture？ ______
A. Uninterested. B. Objective. C. Positive. D. Disapproving.
11. What does the article mainly talk about？ ______
A. The past and future of telephone.
B. The development of communication tools.
C. The downfall of traditional telephone culture.
D. The relation between phone use and family bonds.

The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new.During the past five years，a large number of clothing companies，businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into clothing to deal with plastic pollution.But there's a problem with this method.Research now shows that microfibers（微纤维）could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.
Dr.Mark Browne in Santa Barbara，California，has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years.He explains that every time synthetic（合成的）clothes go into a washing machine，a large number of plastic fibers fall off.Most washing machines can't collect these microfibers.So every time the water gets out of a washing machine，microfibers enter the sewer and finally end up in the sea.
In 2011，Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1，900 fibers per wash.Browne collected samples（样本）from seawater and freshwater sites around the world，and used a special way to examine each sample.He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.
This is bad news for a number of reasons.Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten.Studies have also shown that plastic can take in other pollutants.
Based on this evidence，it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental "solution".Ever though the science has been around for a while，Browne explains that he's had a difficult time getting companies to listen.When he asked well-known clothing companies to support "Benign by Design"，his research project，which is trying to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market，Browne didn't get a satisfying answer.Only one women's clothing company，Eileen Fisher，offered Browne funding.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph？ ______
A. New microfibers have been discovered
B. Making clothes from plastic bottles can't reduce the pollution.
C. The use of plastic bottle has been reduced in the past five years.
D. Turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing hasn't been put into practice.
13. What's the main idea of the second paragraph？ ______
A. How to wash synthetic clothes.
B. How to prevent plastic pollution.
C. How microfibers end up in the sea.
D. Relationship between plastic pollution and microfibers.
14. How does Browne's Benign by Design research project run？ ______
A. It has achieved great success. B. It is facing some difficulties.
C. It is known to very few people. D. It hasn't got anything done.
15. What's the best title for the text？ ______

Once on a dark winter's day，when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they do at night，a Little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the big thoroughfares.
She leaned against her father，who held her in his arm，as she stared out of the window at the passing people with a queer （strange，odd） old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes.
Principally，she was thinking of what a queer thing it was that at one time one was in India in the blazing sun，and then in the middle of the ocean，and then driving in a strange vehicle through strange streets where the day was as dark as the night.She found this so puzzling that she moved closer to her father.
"What is it.darling？" Captain Crewe asked，holding her closer and looking down into her face.
During her short life only one thing had troubled her，and that thing was "the place" she was to be taken to some day.The climate of India was very bad for children，and as soon as possible they were sent away from it-generally to England and to school.She bad seen other children go away，and had heard their fathers and mothers talk about the letters they received from them1.She had known that she would be obliged to go also，and though sometimes her father's stories of the voyage and the new country had attracted her，she had been troubled by the thought that he could not stay with her.
She had liked to think of that.To keep the house for her father；to ride with him，and sit at the head of his table when he had dinner parties；to talk to him and read his books - that would be what she would like most in the world，and if one must go away to "the place" in England to attain it，she must make up her mind to go.She did not care very much for other little girls，but if she had plenty of books she could herself.
It was a big，dull，brick house，exactly like all the others in its row，but that on the front door there shone a brass plate on which was engraved in black letters：
MISS MINCHIN，Select Seminary for Young Ladies.
"I don't like it，papa， " she said. "But then I dare say soldiers - even brave ones-don't really like going into battle. " Sara stood quietly，with her eyes fixed upon Miss Minchin's face.She was thinking something odd，as usual.
19. What can we learn from the story？ ______
A. Sara was bothered by her departure from her father.
B. Sara was about to be sent to London for a completely new life.
C. Sara was thinking of a way to escape being sent to a foreign country.
D. Sara was persuaded to receive further education in a prestigious school.
20. What does the underlined word "console" in Paragraph 6 probably mean？ ______
A. entertain B. occupy C. comfort D. improve
21. What does Sara probably think of her' future in the new place？ ______
A. She didn't mind living with other girls.
B. She hated the idea of living independently.
C. She was positive about the new life at school.
D. She was confident to adapt to the new environment.

Worry is defined as thoughts and images of a negative nature in which mental attempts are made to avoid the expected potential threats.
If we were to keep a record of all the things we worried about during a given period of time，we would discover，in reviewing them，that the great majority of our expected problems or troubles never come to pass.This means that most of the time we devote to worrying，which pushes us to try to come up with a solution to what is troubling us，is wasted，Thus，we not only caused ourselves unnecessary mental pain，but took up valuable minutes and hours that could've been spent elsewhere.
To avoid this，it is often necessary to stay calm and trace the sources of worry.More importantly，we should analyze the situation and see whether it is the very problem that is bothering us.Blindly feeling nervous about whether the problem can be solved is sometimes nidicolous，for the problems do not exist.Once，shortly before a major concert，a member of Arturo Toscanini's orchestra approached the great Italian conductor with an expression of fear on his face. "Maestro （大师）， "the musician said， "my instrument is not working properly.I cannot reach the note of E-flat.Whatever will I do？We are to begin in a few moments. " Toscanini looked at the man with amazement.Then he smiled kindly and placed an arm around his shoulders. "My friend， " he replied， "Do not worry about it.The note E-flat does not appear anywhere in the music that you will be playing this evening. "
The next time we find ourselves in the middle of worrying about some matters，we might be wise to stop and ask ourselves what the problem is and whether it will happen.Then we may be able to go on to do something more meaningful or at least avoid being disturbed by something imaginary.
23. What do we know about worry from the first two paragraphs？ ______
A. It requires people to record and review the trouble later.
B. It drives people to try and stay safe from anticipated trouble.
C. Il's referred to as negative ideas about things that will never happen.
D. It causes a waste of time that should be spent on solving the problem.
24. The example of the orchestra mentioned in Paragraph 3 is to argue that ______ .
A. the note E-flat does not appear in the music
B. wrongly analyzing the problem is ridiculous
C. it's not wise to be disturbed by something imaginary
D. a man of wisdom is able to deal with1 worry effectively
25. What can be inferred from the text？ ______
A. Arturo Toscanini was a great Italian musician from Italy.
B. Worry is defined as thoughts and images of a negative nature.
C. Time wasted on worry should be spent on something meaningful.
D. People feel annoyed by worry because of psychological problems.
26. What is the text mainly about？ ______
A. The source of worry. B. How to deal with worry.
C. The definition of worry. D. How worry affects people.

One of the most important changes cities must make to improve life in them is to separate people from their cars.Even when you have a strong public transport system inmoving people between population hubs，the last mile - that section between the railway station and someone's home，for example - can lead to car use if it's considered too far or too dangerous to walk.
The idea of a low-traffic neighbourhood （LTN）- where cars are banned from quieter 'rat runs' （偏僻小路）to keep them on the major routes - has taken off in parts of the UK.LTNs attempt to filter out cars from residential streets using bollards，camera-controlled gates or even planters full of flowers placed across the road，while pedestrians，cyclists and emergency vehicles can still pass.
Analysis for the active transport charity Sustrans found that "driving a mile on a minor urban road is twice as likely to kill or seriously injure a child pedestrian1，and three times more likely to kill or seriously injure a child cyclist，compared to driving a mile on an urban A-road， " and that heavy car traffic in residential areas can lead to a rise in social isolation.LTNs reduce this danger，leading to a three-fold reduction in injuries，and have been shown to increase the number of visitors to local businesses.
Also popular are e-scooter hie trials，which are taking place in towns and cities including Middlesbrough，Bristol and Chelmsford.The trials see gaggles of electric scooters available to be picked up from street corners.The scooters are hired using an app and then，once they're finished with，parked elsewhere inside the trial area，where they're collected and recharged by the hiring company.A Department of Transport report on e-scooter use found they were "widely perceived to have environmental and convenience benefits， " but suffered from comparisons to children's toys.
But that's not all.The world's first hub for demonstrating electric air taxis and drones opened in Coventry earlier this year.The taxis and drones based at the hub all take off and land vertically like helicopters and are being used to travel short journeys or deliver cargo.
Weaning us off our car addiction is one of the more difficult barriers standing between us and healthier cities.The first step that needs to be taken will be to tackle the dominance of the car.
27. What can we learn from Paragraph 1？ ______
A. People are considered reliant on cars to travel.
B. Public transport system still needs improvement.
C. Pollution from cars has an impact on people's life quality.
D. Residential areas are usually far away from the railway station.
28. What do we know about the idea of an LTN？ ______
A. It's a way to encourage social interaction and local business.
B. It's a series of measures to reserve the streets to walking residents.
C. It's a system that employs high technology to keep cars on the main roads.
D. It's a practice proved effective in keeping children safe from traffic accidents.
29. What's the structure of the text？ ______
P=Paragraph

A. A B. B C. C D. D
30. What's the purpose of the text？ ______
A. To call on readers to construct a healthier city.
B. To promote the latest developments in car alternatives.
C. To introduce possible ways to get rid of dependence on cars.
D. To inform citizens of technological advances to tackle social problems.

People refer to never forgetting how to ride a bike or throw a baseball as examples of "muscle memory"，the result of a motor learning. (1) It is a phenomenon that previously trained muscles acquire strength after a period of disuse.
Previous research has shown that the changes actually persist in the muscles themselves.In one study of mice，the results suggest that after nuclei in muscle cells multiply in response to an overload of training，those extra nuclei aren't lost during subsequent periods of inactivity.Once you have got additional nuclei，you are banking the capacity. (2)
In fact，a recent study revealed that less than eight weeks of retraining were needed to reach the post-training level.But how quickly you regain your former fitness depends on how fit you were initially，how long the layoff was.how old you are and how long you'd been exercising.
(3) It means you still have a distinct advantage when it comes to regaining your former level of fitness.And the principle applies to both resistance training and endurance training.The best way to regain your muscle memory is to start at a level below what you were accustomed to doing，and then gradually increase in terms of duration，frequency，then intensity. (4)
Ultimately，muscle memory is a payoff for all the past work you put into learning a sport. (5) You will never know how much muscle memory you may have until you start training again.

A.The best way to tap into it is to "get back on the horse".
B.Physiologists，on the other hand，define it in a different way.
C.This convinces the researchers that muscle memory may not be long lasting.
D That is to say，we can do the sports automatically without conscious thought.
E It is generally safe to increase these elements by 5 percent every week or two.
F It is evident that the more you exercise，the more muscle memory savings you will have.
G All this news about muscle memory is encouraging for those who fell off the fitness scheme.

The most important life lesson I've learned from running is to run at my own pace.This lesson has guided me in many ways. (56)， it made me challenge the fixed expectations of retirement and aging.

I have (61) this principle to other areas of my life.Finding a rhythm is not about (62)or how many things I can get done in a day.It has more to do with what I decide to do at this stage in my life.
Running carries its own set of expectations，including what it meant to be a strong runner.But expectations also (63) to other areas of life，including what people at certain life stages should be doing or not doing.Expectations at my age can (64) how leisure time is spent，decisions about employment.and even the role of a (65).

Morty was checking out his library books when it caught his eye-a poster for Adventure Rocks Kids Camp. "Check this out!"

Ben broke the silence， "We have less than two weeks until registration opens，and it says the camp fills up fast. " Then an idea popped into Morty's head. "Why don't we sell lemonade and snacks by the side of the road？We can pool our allowance savings for the camp. " "That's a great Idea， "Ben said.
The sun had barely come up on Saturday morning when the kids set up their business.They chose a spot，asked permission from the homeowner，and then asked to use her garden hose for water to make lemonade.
Their business went smoothly until Ben announced that they had a comparatively small stock of lemons shortly after noon.Morty decided to make their stock go further. "Fred，when the jug gets down to one-fourth full，just fill it to the top with the water hose. " Morty was thinking out loud， "I'll change the sign and charge 30 more cents for each cup of lemonade. " Their business went on and the three were secretly proud of the little tricks they had done.
Just as Morty finished refilling the jug with water for the third time，a vehicle rounded the comer.Morty saw the minivan with his father at the wheel and his family inside.They pulled up to the sidewalk，and his brothers and sisters jumped out，each clutching a coin or two.They were eager to support their brother's bustling business.Morty's family bought the last of the brownies and drank the last drop of watered-down lemonade.

（2）C.推理判断题。根据第二段"He explains that every time synthetic clothes go into a washing machine           ，a large number of plastic fibers fall off.Most washing machines can't collect these microfibers.So every time the water gets out of a washing machine                       ，microfibers are entering the sewers and finally end up in the sea.           （他解释说，每次合成衣服进入洗衣机，就会有大量塑料纤维掉落关了。大多数洗衣机收不到这些超细纤维。所以每次洗衣机出水，超细纤维都会进入下水道，最终流入大海）"可以判断出第二段主要讲述了超细纤维是如何进入海里的，故选C。

（2）推理判断题。根据第三段To avoid this，it is often necessary to stay calm and trace the sources of worry.More importantly，we should analyze the situation and see whether it is the very problem that is bothering us.Blindly feeling nervous about whether the problem can be solved is sometimes nidicolous，for the problems do not exist.（为了避免这种情况，通常有必要保持冷静，寻找担忧的根源。更重要的是，我们应该分析形势，看看是不是问题本身在困扰我们。盲目地为问题能否解决而紧张有时是可笑的，因为问题并不存在。）可知，第三段提到提到的管弦乐队的例子为了说明被想象的东西打扰是不明智的。故选 C。
（3）推理判断题。根据最后一段The next time we find ourselves in the middle of worrying about some matters，we might be wise to stop and ask ourselves what the problem is and whether it will happen.Then we may be able to go on to do something more meaningful or at least avoid being disturbed by something imaginary. （下次当我们发现自己在为某些事情担心时，明智的做法是停下来问问自己问题是什么，它是否会发生。然后我们就可以继续做一些更有意义的事情，或者至少避免被一些想象的事情打扰。）可知，浪费在忧虑上的时间应该花在有意义的事情上。故选C。
（4）主旨大意题。根据最后一段The next time we find ourselves in the middle of worrying about some matters，we might be wise to stop and ask ourselves what the problem is and whether it will happen.Then we may be able to go on to do something more meaningful or at least avoid being disturbed by something imaginary. （下次当我们发现自己在为某些事情担心时，明智的做法是停下来问问自己问题是什么，它是否会发生。然后我们就可以继续做一些更有意义的事情，或者至少避免被一些想象的事情打扰。）可知，本文主要讲述了如何处理忧虑。故选 B。

（2）推理判断题。根据第三段Analysis for the active transport charity Sustrans found that"driving a mile on a minor urban road is twice as likely to kill or seriously injure a child pedestrian，and three times more likely to kill or seriously injure a child cyclist，compared to driving a mile on an urban A-road，" and that heavy car traffic in residential areas can lead to a rise in social isolation.LTNs reduce this danger，leading to a three-fold reduction in injuries，and have been shown to increase the number of visitors to local businesses. （积极交通慈善机构Sustrans进行的分析发现，"与在城市与级道路上行驶一英里相比，在城市次要道路上行驶与英里，导致儿童行人死亡或严重受伤的可能性是前者的两倍，而导致儿童骑自行车者死亡或严重伤害的可能性是前者的三倍 "，居民区的汽车交通拥挤可能会导致社会孤立的加剧。LTN减少了这与危险，导致受伤人数减少了三倍，并已表明增加了当地企业的游客数量。）可知，LTN使得在次要道路上因交通工具导致的儿童重伤和死亡人数减少，因此它被证实是使孩子远离交通事故的有效措施。故选D项。
（3）篇章结构题。根据第与段One of the most important changes cities must make to improve life in them is to separate：people from their cars. （为了改善城市的生活，城市必须做出的最重要的改变之-就是将人们与汽车分开。）可知，改善城市生活最重要的改变就是将人们与汽车分开，可见人们出行对汽车很依赖，本文旨在解决这个问题；根据第二段 The idea of allow-traffic neighbourhood （LTN） - where cars are banned from quieter°rat runs' （偏僻小路） to keep them on the major routes - has taken off in parts of the UK. （低交通量社区（LTN）的想法已经在英国部分地区流行起来。在这里，汽车被禁止在较安静的 "老鼠跑道"上行驶，以保证它们在主干道上行驶），第四段Also popular are e-scooter hie trials，which are taking place in towns and cities including Middlesbrough，Bristol and Chelmsford. （试行电子滑板车租赁也很受欢迎，目前正在米德尔斯堡、布里斯托尔和切尔姆斯福德等城镇进行。）和第五段But that's not all.The world's first hub for demonstrating electric air taxis and drones opened in Coventry earlier this year. （但这还不是全部。今年早些时候，世界上第一个演示电动空中出租车和无人机的中心在考文垂开始营业。）可知，二，四，五段分别提出一种措施；根据第三段LTNs reduce this danger，leading to a three-fold reduction in injuries，and have been shown to increase the number of visitors to local businesses. （LTN减少了这一危险，导致受伤人数减少了三倍，并已表明增加了当地企业的游客数量。）可知，第三段延续第二段，继续讨论LTN。因此文章结构应该是总分总，第一段总起介绍，第二三段讨论措施一，第四段讨论措施二，第五段讨论措施三，第六段总结。故选B项。
（4）目的意图题。根据本文最后一段Weaning us off our car addiction is one of the more difficult barriers standing between us and healthier cities.The first step that needs to be taken will be to tackle the dominance of the car. （让我们摆脱对汽车的依赖是我们与更健康的城市之间更困难的障碍之一。需要采取的第一步是解决汽车的主导地位。）可知，文章最后作者再次强调要摆脱对汽车的依赖，而前文几段也提出了三种措施，故可推测本文作者旨在介绍解除汽车依赖的措施。故选C项。
这是一篇说明文。文章指出人们过于依赖汽车，这不利于健康城市的建设，因此需要解除对汽车的依赖，并提出三个措施。

       一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
       （3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
       根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
       （4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
       在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
